A long anticipated session in the park

This is one of my Littlest Hero's Project sessions. I have been so lucky to find the project and be able to give the gift of photography to these amazing families. I felt like I knew this family before ever arriving at the location. This session is near and very dear to my heart...I have a brother with down syndrome and this brought back so many memories for me. This family is blessed with little Brayden and it was very clear how much he adored them all. For anyone who has had a family member or friend with Trisomy 21, you know first hand the blessing and challenges they face daily. I just want to say that this family has embraced the challenge and knows the blessing. Here is a few of my favorites from our session. I hope mom loves them. I cannot thank this family enough for the opportunity to capture their family. I just wanted to take Brayden in my arms and hug him so tight. He is one very special little Hero!!!!!!

A sweet candid family session

they wanted this session to be very candid and in their back yard. Here is a few to share. I have so many more to edit..but love giving a quick peek at a few! Hope you enjoy they were a beautiful family!

All boy...

Here is what little boys like to do...this little guy is turning two and loves to explore. I got my exercise following him around and being beyond goofy to keep his attention.









Had to add this ....is mommy said say cheese Logan haha!... and he did

Inspired by the a Little Hero !

I had the opportunity to meet and hang out for an hour with Makenna and her family. She contacted me through the Littlest Heros Project. Makenna was born with a heart condition and has needed multiple open heart surgeries. Her mom told me she was shy, but this little girl warmed up to me and we had a great time. She showed me how she loved to climb the trees in her back yard and hang from the ropes. She was such a warm sweet girl along with her entire family. I just want to thank this family..I left with such a wonderful feeling of appreciation for all the simple things in our daily life. What a wonderful family she has.

Lilly with a vintage texture

I'm just feeling creative today! My thought is this would look so great is a dark wooden frame. The parents home was my inspiration for this capture.

I wanted to add another favorite from Lilly's session

The more I edit the more I adore this complete session. I still have more to come.

Pretty pretty baby girl

I have been so bad at updating my blog. I am working on getting my website up and working my other job a lot. I wish I could just do photography full time! That is my dream and goal. Here is a few I just had to put up today from a session this week. Her mom called me after seeing my photography in a friends home. Thanks for letting me capture your pretty Lilly!

Hanford two year old

Is she just too sweet for words or what !!!







And here is one with her cousins. I just finshed this session so many more to go through.

Baby boy Wyatt with big blue eyes

This little guy is six months old and had the most gorgeous eyes...I kept thinking oh how lucky am I to photograph this baby! Here is a few from today's session. I had to take one of his 19 month old big brother too. Here is your peek at your photo's mom.






And big 19 month old brother...he was feeling left out poor guy..we will be toding a session with them both together soon.

Tanner adores his daddy!

Friday we had such pretty sunshine Tanner and I went outside with a blanket and some toys, we played and took photos until his daddy came home. I took these shots in order. His face shows the love he has for his daddy. I promise he loves me too, i'm just always behind the camera.
This was when he saw his daddy's truck pull up in front of our house! I love this ear to ear happiness.


Then he smiles as daddy walks up and starts to crawl to him


Then he stands and walks to daddy


And here daddy bends down to pick up his little buddy! I admit my heart was overflowing with emotion. I love that I captured this all on camera.


And here is my two favorite guys.

Almost the big one year old girl

I took a few photos for my friend of her little girl. She looks much bigger than the first newborn photos I took of her. She was not sure how she felt about being outside in her yard, but we managed to get some cute ones one this cloudy day.

A few more of Caroline and her family

I just finished editing this session and had to post a couple more.

Beautiful Hanford CA. Family

This couple was so sweet and their daughter can be described in one word precious. Her mom dressed her so cute a photographers dream come true. We did these at and around their home. Caroline their daughter just turned one years old. I'm very thankful for the opportunity to shoot such a picture perfect family! And thank the weather for giving us a break in the rain this morning.
